If for any reason, we determine that we no longer want to use a particular subcontractor, instead of deleting them from companies, it would be good if they could be checked as "Do Not Use" and they are disabled from receiving invitations to be until that status changes.

This would have some key benefits.

1. If the subcontractor has a temporary situation making them unqualified, they can be placed on this list until the situation is corrected.

2. If the status is permanent, they remain on the list, and if someone in the future unaware of the status tries to add them, it would show up as a duplicate entry and prevent them from adding a barred bidder to the list.

3. This list could be exported to be published to other departments so project managers or superintendents know not to contact those companies.
